when romney talked about russia being our number one geopolitical foe. he started that conversation and unfortunately it hasn't continued. jenna: if you look a different administrations out of the past that have failed to do that, really engage, why? >> i think the united states wanted to integrate both china and russia, to bring them in and engage them and we felt if we criticized them that would sort of hurt and undermine that process. unfortunately the russians and the chinese have just seen what was a gesture of friendship on our part, they've interpreted as a sign of weakness so they press the advantage. and after four decades of engagement of china china has become very belligerent and hostile original leave. our policies are obviously not working. this is the reason why we need to have this conversation. jenna: it will be interesting to see fit comes up in the vice presidental debate or the presidential debate yet to come. thank you for your perspective. bill: governor mitt romney riding a surge of momentum after his first debate with president ob

can you discern what romney was talking about when he said biden contradicted that sworn testimony? >> well, i would say number one that is probably a reference to eric nordstrom, who was the regional security officer, that means he works for the state department. the diplomatic security side of that. and he -- in sworn testimony he did say that he had asked for more security assistance, more personnel, and that he was refuse refused. you have to get into the subchapters on this. there were requests he made that were verbal. there were requests that were not necessarily formal bureaucratic stamped type of things. so i think we have to really get down into the weeds to say was it a formal request that was turned down, was it a less formal, verbal one et cetera. on the other side, that we that you were talking about, what he's saying is, look, this is handled, the personnel issues are handled by the state department. that type of detail doesn't come to us here at the white house. at least that's what the white house is saying. >> two things going on there. let me throw another layer o
